You're running that command from *inside* Python.
I asked:
Once you have installed Python, run this from the command
line to test it:
python -c "import sys; print sys.version"
I'm sorry, I should have been more explicit that I meant from your
system command line, the shell or command.exe or cmd.com, not from
inside Python.
You should see a prompt ending with % or possibly % but not Python's
prompt >>>.
My intention is to ensure that the bare python command is working correctly.
Later on, I asked you to:
launch the Python interactive interpreter by running:
python
which implies that you *hadn't* launched the interactive interpreter
before this point.
Sorry for the confusion.
